Digital Security & Customer Experience in Finance

As financial institutions navigate the waters of digital transformation, they face a critical challenge: delivering exceptional, seamless customer experiences while maintaining the highest levels of security and regulatory compliance. Avaya Experience Platform (AXP) is trusted by leading financial institutions to tackle these challenges head-on.

Avaya Experience Platform meets the essential needs of financial security operations while fostering innovation in customer experience.

Security Challenges in Financial Customer Experience

Financial institutions are constantly pressured to meet high customer expectations while adhering to strict security and compliance requirements. For security operations professionals, this balancing act involves several key challenges:

1. Data Security and Privacy: The financial sector is entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive customer data. Protecting this data from breaches and unauthorized access is paramount as customer interactions increasingly migrate to digital and cloud platforms.

2. Compliance with Regulatory Standards: Operating in one of the most heavily regulated sectors, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) must adhere to a range of data protection and compliance requirements, including GDPR, PCI DSS, and local financial regulations. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and irreparable reputational harm.

3. Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks: As financial institutions adopt cutting-edge technologies, they inadvertently become more susceptible to cyber threats. Security teams must ensure that new customer experience tools do not introduce vulnerabilities or compromise the organization’s security integrity.

4. Securing Omnichannel Interactions: As customers interact across multiple channels—chat, email, messaging, social—securing these omnichannel touchpoints is crucial. Each channel presents its own set of risks, and security teams must ensure consistent protection across the board.
